Version 4 Multifunction moonlighting and intrinsically disordered proteins: Information catalysis, nonrigid molecule symmetries, and the ‘logic gate’ spectrum

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) appear far more likely to engage in functional moonlighting than well-structured proteins. The recent use of nonrigid molecule theory to address IDP structure and dynamics produces this result directly: Mirror image subgroup or subgroupoid tiling matching of the molecular fuzzy lock-and-key can be much richer for IDP’s since the number possible group or g...

Intrinsically Polar Elastic Metamaterials.

In many applications, one needs to combine materials with varying properties to achieve certain functionalities. For example, the inner layer of a helmet should be soft for cushioning while the outer shell should be rigid to provide protection. Over time, these combined materials either separate or wear and tear, risking the exposure of an undesired material property. This work presents a desig...

Intrinsically Universal Cellular Automata

This talk advocates intrinsic universality as a notion to identify simple cellular automata with complex computational behavior. After an historical introduction and proper definitions of intrinsic universality, which is discussed with respect to Turing and circuit universality, we discuss construction methods for small intrinsically universal cellular automata before discussing techniques for ...

Intrinsically Motivated Machines

Intrinsic motivation is what causes us to do something “for its own sake,” in contrast to doing something for an external reward. There is great interest in building intrinsic motivation into artificial systems by defining intrinsic reward signals within the reinforcement learning framework. Yet, what intrinsic reward signals are, and how it may differ from extrinsic reward signals, remains a m...
